3·25 days agoProbably best to stop letting the pig in the bed, too.
Occasionally, all that squealing can come in handy, like the early morning hours of 16 January 1994, when the Northridge earthquake shook most of Los Angeles, prompting shortlived but very real fears that the Big One had struck.

Max was in bed with me and woke up minutes before it happened. And I was yelling at him for waking me up, when everything just exploded. So, I’m naked with Max, and running … because I’m in a house on a hill, and if it’s going down I want to be up on the street, dodging the next house.
August 29 1997, the day pajamas became self-aware.
Actually it’s a thing schools do (in the US, at least), like casual day except that the kids wear pajamas to school.
I just thought that as the ultimate authority on memes, he might take more of an interest.
I’m beginning to think that Richard Dawkins doesn’t even bother moderating this community…
My first thought was that it was a Westworld reference.
One of the terrible things is that they will bill you much more if you don’t have insurance, or if you have insurance but they are not in your insurance “network” (which is basically your insurer acting like a union to negotiate prices down for it’s members).

Via Tom Scott’s newsletter, an explanation of a strange ngrams anomaly in an xkcd. Why is the 11th of all months apparently the least popular date?

Except for the Doofenshmirtz “2 nickels” one, I see that everywhere.
A private key would be built in to the camera. It would be stored in a way that’s hard to get at, physically or in software (like the secure enclaves in phones).
The pics or videos are signed using the private key (again, this process needs to happen in a secure way without revealing the secret key).
The camera manufacturer publishes the matching public key. Anyone can use it to verify that the file matches the signature. But no one can sign a fake image unless they can get at the private key.
This would work even if the camera manufacturer no longer existed. The camera does need to ever be online.
The public/private key pairs are also part of what makes blockchains work, but for this process blockchains would add nothing.
Seriously. It’s something about shampoo, hair conditioner, laundry detergent and laundry conditioner especially. The product type is printed as small as the dosage on med bottles.
I have seen a gas pump have a “press cancel to skip PIN entry” message…

Usually they ask for the zip code of the billing address, and if you found a card, there’s a good chance you’d be in that zip code.
Technology Connections has covered how they work.
Have you seen the Thatcher Effect?
I had to verify my identity with a UK government app recently, and the app scanned my passport’s RFID!
I’ve run small models (a few Gb in size) on my steam deck. It gives reasonably fast responses (faster than a person would type).
I know that they’re far from state-of-the art, but they do work and I know that the Steam Deck is not going to be using much power.
